Grown in Nelson, to the west of Marlborough, on stony loam soils with high sunshine hours & a moderating Maritime influence. The winemaking philosophy blends Old World techniques with pioneering methods now becoming commonplace in the New World. An elegant nose of black cherry, rose petal, cranberry & subtle oak with hints of spice. A medium bodied wine with luscious dark cherry, blossom fruits, silky soft tannins, & a generous mouthfeel. An excellent partner to red meat & game dishes or mushroom flavoured sauces. A wine to be enjoyed over the next four years.
